Students collect junk mail from home and bring it to the class to conduct a mathematical investigation. Students engage in a range of mathematical investigation around their junk mail, including counting the number of pieces of junk mail collected, weighing the mail, measuring the length and area the mail covers. The class will then make their own ‘no junk mail’ sign to take home. Students will know what junk mail is and why it is used, recognise the environmental impacts of junk mail and know some actions they can take to reduce the negative impacts of junk mail on our environment.
Students will know a range of ways we can use maths to measure real world objects, be able to think critically about junk mail, measure, sort and compare objects mathematically, as well as participate in class discussions and activities.

Here is a link to a song that I wrote and performed about number bonds to ten. In line with the new mastery maths , the accompanying video shows, using Numicon, the various ways of making ten and their equivalence. The song also uses rhyming couplets to facilitate the children remembering the number bond pairs. Lyrics are included in the video for a singalong!
The song is also available on iTunes to buy and to stream on Spotify, Amazon etc, if you cant get to a computer for YouTube.
